”Boss, do you think the Dragon Clan can really break through Sea City and launch an attack on East Capital City territory this time?”

On the way to the East State Mountain Range, Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu were both somewhat worried about this battle.

”It’s too difficult for the Dragon Clan to cross the East State Mountain Range without being detected by us, unless they are all Cultivation Immortality experts, making minor movements to avoid our reconnaissance. But even then, with so few people, crossing the East State Mountain Range would be useless.” Xiao Zhuang said.

Qin Tian said, ”You have a point, but we have gathered a large force in Sea City. The Dragon Clan can’t possibly launch a frontal attack, right?”

”Probably not.”

”That’s right. If they don’t launch a frontal attack, then, based on my suspicion of Long Tianwu, there are only two routes left for them to choose.”

”Boss, are you saying that one of the routes is to form a surrounding attack on us by crossing the East State Mountain Range?”

”Yes.”

”Then what’s the second route?”

”The second route is that the Dragon Clan will infiltrate East Capital City or the Imperial City, causing chaos there. When our rear catches fire, Sea City will fall without a fight.”

”Damn, is it that ruthless? No way...”

”The invasion of the Southern Barbarians is one example. If Long Tianwu can prompt the Southern Barbarians to attack the Tianyuan Dynasty, why can’t she turn someone within the Tianyuan Dynasty? Moreover, with all the major forces within the Tianyuan Dynasty vying for power, just offering a little incentive could cause chaos without Long Tianwu needing to lift a finger.”

Qin Tian’s words left Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu speechless: ”Is that even possible?”

”This is political intrigue, the scheme of the nobles, where lives mean nothing.”

Zhao Lanjin, who had not spoken all this time, said softly. He had witnessed the struggles among the City Guard Army during the previous East State war with Qin Tian. In his previous life as an assassin, he was also well aware of such scheming and plotting.

”Therefore, choosing to bring troops out at this time has two major advantages. One is that if the Dragon Clan really passes through the East State Mountain Range and we discover them, we may launch a surprise attack and achieve a significant victory.”

On a flying horse, Qin Tian looked at the sky, ”Secondly, if the high-level forces within the Tianyuan Dynasty or East State armies really start infighting, we are far from them, with fewer troops, they definitely won’t pay much attention to us. Thus, we can stay away from disputes and preserve our strength.”

”I see...”

The three of Zhao Lanjin suddenly understood.

”In this East State war, we cannot lose, let alone die. If we want to advance, if we want to enter the Imperial City, this is a great opportunity.”

Qin Tian silently recited in his heart, ”Murong, wait for me!”

...

With the East State Mountain Range stretching two thousand kilometers, after reaching the northern part of the mountain range with his twenty thousand elite troops, Qin Tian immediately found a hidden place to set up camp.

Meanwhile, he sent out ten thousand people, dividing them into one hundred teams. Each team stationed at a point, defending and scouting south along the East State Mountain Range,

whenever a team encountered an emergency, they would immediately signal with wolf smoke.

With the arrangements completed, Qin Tian waited for news.

What was odd, however, was that two weeks passed, and Sea City continued to report that both sides were staring each other down from tens of kilometers away, with no signs of taking the initiative to attack.

On one hand, Xiao Zhan did not dare to take the initiative to attack, constantly building defensive fortifications and waiting for the Dragon Clan to attack.

On the other hand, Qin Tian was puzzled because the Dragon Clan had also come to a halt with no intention to attack at all. This was contrary to his earlier judgment that the Dragon Clan, having come a long way, would engage in a quick battle.

”Something’s wrong.”

Qin Tian discussed with Zhao Lanjin, Xiao Zhuang, and Lin Yu, ”I always feel something is off. By logic, Long Tianwu leading hundreds of thousands of troops here can’t possibly be a sight-seeing tour to the East State, so why haven’t they attacked yet? Aren’t they worried about anything happening to Panlong Island?”

Lin Yu said, ”Could it be that Long Tianwu is waiting for the best opportunity to attack?”

Zhao Lanjin said, ”The best opportunity to attack? And what kind of opportunity would that be? If we delay any longer, by the time the East State recovers or the Southern Barbarian army is repelled, the Dragon Clan will not only miss the opportunity, but we might even counterattack!”

Xiao Zhuang nodded, ”Yes, now should be a great opportunity. If they wait any longer, Long Tianwu should also know that the East State Army won’t initiate an attack or redeploy troops from Sea City.”

Qin Tian rubbed his hands, ”This woman... is too mysterious, and this time it’s a personal expedition, I cannot see through her.”

Before, Qin Tian defeated the Dragon Clan army, but the commander was Long Xuanji.

In fact, Qin Tian had not yet truly faced Long Tianwu in battle, and all conjectures were based on his own guesses.

Evidently, Long Tianwu’s actions deviated significantly from Qin Tian’s imagination.

”We’ll just wait. Although the longer we wait, the more anxious I get, we really don’t have the capability to change the battlefield with our one or two thousand men.”

Qin Tian, feeling helpless, looked at Lin Yu and said, ”Old Two, don’t know how Old Zhou’s research on the True Qi Cannon is going. How about you pay him a visit and check the progress? If it’s ready, we’ll immediately bring it into battle, heh heh, as a trump card to catch the Dragon Clan’s army off guard!”

”Alright, I’ll pack right away.”

...

”Counselor, have you calculated it? When will it be?”

In the Dragon Clan’s camp, the noble Long Tianwu in her silver armor was sitting opposite the black-robed Master of Strategies, asking.

The Master of Strategies said, ”The celestial object, the number of days cannot be precisely calculated. Based on my previous calculations, that celestial object should arrive at the end of the month.”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of concern flashed over Long Tianwu’s beautiful face, and she asked, ”Can you accurately calculate the falling location?”

The Master of Strategies shook his head, ”This object is too powerful, unlike a meteorite or other ordinary Spiritual Artifacts or Spiritual Objects. I can only predict that it will land on the land of East State, but the exact location remains truly indeterminate.”

Long Tianwu’s dark lashes fluttered slightly, revealing a hint of worry in her deep and beautiful eyes, ”If it falls to the west of the East State Mountain Range, then we have no choice but to cross the East State Mountain Range to get it. This object must not fall into the hands of the Tianyuan Dynasty.”

The Master of Strategies said, ”Your Highness, you mean that if this celestial sacred object falls to the west of the East State Mountain Range, we should forcibly attack Sea City?”

”That’s not necessary.” Long Tianwu seemed to be full of confidence and said, ”Our main force will continue to draw in the East State Army of Sea City, and then, at that time, I will personally lead our experts to cross the East State Mountain Range to seize the sacred object. Our people will be ready to respond east of the East State Mountain Range.”

”Your Highness, you mean to go personally? This, the risk is too great.” The Master of Strategies showed a look of panic on his face.
